Celebrate mothers today with words of love

Today is Mother's Day - a day set aside to show expressions of love and appreciation to our mothers. Mother's Day is a day to give back. It's a day society celebrates the women that raised us. It's a day mothers everywhere are thanked for all of their hard work that might go unthanked the rest of the year

Mothers everywhere will receive homemade cards and other crafts, candy, flowers, perhaps breakfast in bed and more than likely will be taken out to dinner.

They might even receive gifts they really don't like but won't let that show as they express their appreciation for the thought. I believe most mothers deep down only want to hear a few words from their children - whether toddlers or grown adults - and those words are "I love you" or perhaps "thanks a million mom for all you did for me."

However you express it, just the fact that you show that love and appreciation will melt any mother's heart.

On another note, the arts festival to mark the opening of the Barlow Arts Center was quite a success.

Marion has many people with a variety of talent from musicians to artists and more. If you missed the opening weekend of activities, keep your eye out for more art showings in future weeks.

I took 12 friends to Horsey Hall near Ostrander last week for lunch. It is located on a quiet little country road and hillside across from the Blues Creek Preserve in Delaware County.

Built in 1858 and known as the Felkner-Anderson House, it is on the National Historic Register of Historic Homes and has been open to the public since 2011.

The home, barn and shed are filled with antiques, art, furniture, home accessories, jewelry and of course, horse themed items and gifts. They also have a small café serving fine cuisine.

Also, they are only open Wednesday through Saturday 11 am to 2 pm. You can find them on the web at www.horseyhall.com

Let me leave you with this quotation by Washington Irving: "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."

Until next week. Happy Mother's Day!
